Speakers
Thought leaders, innovators, and investors sharing AI trends, use cases, and what it takes to lead with AI.
Breaking Boundaries: AI Trends, Innovations and Use Cases. Thank you to everyone who joined AI.SUMMIT 2023 at CCH Hamburg — partnered with BLOCKCHANCE.
Keynotes, use cases, panels, and a startup pitch competition at the intersection of AI and blockchain.
Thought leaders, innovators, and investors sharing AI trends, use cases, and what it takes to lead with AI.
29 June 2023 at Congress Center Hamburg — partnered with the BLOCKCHANCE conference.
Northern German AI startups pitched live — Dealcode, fobizz, Conversionmaker.ai, KLEOS, CO2OPT, CLOUDSUPPLIES, DATAFLEET.
Examining ChatGPT, Bard, and generative AI — industry applications, business models, and disruption.
Explore the interplay of AI and blockchain for trust, governance, and enterprise use cases.
AI at the interface of climate change — from wildfire detection to carbon markets and clean energy.
Trusted, explainable AI and regulation — preparing innovators for the forthcoming AI Act.
With generative AI and ChatGPT leading the charge, AI is breaking into the mainstream. Tech startups and innovators found an environment hungry for practical solutions across industries — while breakthrough innovations from research labs waited to be commercialized. Location: CCH – Congress Center Hamburg.
As AI pushes boundaries, regulation is picking up steam, with the European AI Act likely to set a global benchmark. Companies that want to take advantage of these opportunities must responsibly deploy AI at speed and scale. AI.SUMMIT 2023 partnered with the BLOCKCHANCE conference (28–30 June 2023).
Dive into the latest trends, AI innovations and use cases – presented through keynotes, pitches and panel discussions from thought leaders, startups and industry leaders – and immerse yourself in an international ecosystem at the intersection of AI and Blockchain at the Hamburg AI SUMMIT.
KEYNOTES & PITCHES and PANELS exploring generative AI, Web3, lab-to-market innovation, climate, enterprise AI, and governance.
What is the breakthrough behind generative AI and ChatGPT, and what industry applications, business models, and cybersecurity implications will we see emerge? Which industries will be disrupted (and when)? What will be the impact on skills and jobs?
From data processing to supply chain management and from fraud detection to process automation, the potential of AI and blockchain working together is ubiquitous. It promises to boost trust in AI and provide new ways to govern human-machine interactions. But what potential does the interplay of these technologies already offer to enterprises and SMEs today? What new opportunities do they open up for innovators? And how can the technologies be used for new forms of governance?
Science serves as the breeding ground for breakthrough innovations. Europe and Germany are strong in AI research but weak in commercialization. What AI advances are currently being developed in labs, and how can they be turned into viable, scalable solutions? How are companies successfully spun out of universities?
AI is an important tool in the fight against climate change, for example by enabling smart grids or climate models, and at the same time it emits — whether through the power consumption of data centers or the production of semiconductors. How can we leverage AI to fight climate change? How can we make AI green?
How to successfully introduce and holistically leverage AI and robotic innovations across company functions, from HR to production and finance to marketing? How can corporates and SMEs boost their competitiveness and efficiency with the implementation of AI solutions?
What does the increasing importance of explainable, trusted and responsible AI, Privacy, AI Regulation (AI Act) mean for my business and product development? What regulatory initiatives are globally emerging and shaping markets?
Thank you to the sponsors who made AI.SUMMIT 2023 possible.
